Does anyone know how many fans were in attendance at this gig? I'm not sure how many people Hampden usually holds.

Wink June 3rd Hampden Park Glasgow – Amazing

Hampden has a 52,000 seat capacity.

This was my 4th Bon Jovi Concert and I would say the best.
If I was to put them into a top 4 I would have to go with
1. Have a nice day - Hampden
2. one wild night - Hampden
3. these day – Ibrox
4. bounce – Ibrox

Hampden for some reason holds the sound better making the gigs there the better ones.

I loved the set list it wasn’t all just the big hits it was a good selection of there songs. I would have liked for them to have done blood on blood but that just because that is my all time favourite Bon Jovi song. I would also have liked a little something off the These days album.

This is a quote from the Scottish Sunday mail on Sunday 21st May 2006 a interview between Jon and Billy Sloan at Dusseldorf

Jon can't wait to top the bill at our national stadium to unleash some of their biggest hits such as Livin' on a Prayer, Wanted Dead or Alive and Bad Medicine.
He said: "I've always said Europeans only know the verses and Americans only know the choruses - but the Scottish crowd know the entire song. They don't just want to hear the hit singles, they want all the album tracks, too.
"The Scots have stayed loyal to us for so long and I thank them for that."


This is why I think that we got the set that we got.

What is the point of cheering in the middle of a song if you do that you can’t hear the song. Personally I cheer when I know the song from the first few bars and at the end of the song. The middle for me is for singing along.
Highlights for me were I’ll be there for you (Richie was amazing) & Bad Medicine (shout) but that is always a crowd pleaser.
